Solve the for the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions for a particle in a 1D box such that the box has a length LL and is centered about the origin of a coordinate system. Find values of mL2mL2 such that the particle becomes relativistic, it hardly moves, or moves with the speed of an airbus in its ground state.
